Exegesis
A genitive absolute, genomenes epiboules auto hypo ton Ioudaiōn {γενομένης ἐπιβουλῆς αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων | genoménēs epiboulês autō̂ hypò tôn Ioudaíōn}, introduces a circumstantial situation, most naturally temporal with causal overtones: “when a plot was made against him by the Jews.”
In context — Acts 20:3
After he had spent three months there, when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he resolved to return through Macedonia.
